Title

Repealing and recreating Section 9.33 of the Madison General Ordinances related to Regulation of Massage Establishments.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    The State of Wisconsin licenses massage therapists but does not regulate massage establishments. The City’s previous ordinance combined licensing of massage establishments and massage technicians and managers which was contrary to state statute. This ordinance creates a license and operational requirements for massage establishments only. This ordinance provides an essential enforcement mechanism for those massage establishments that are operating without licensed massage therapists.
